Thorpe Fell Top (35B, LR103/104)

Chris Crocker: The obelisk war memorial at the top of Cracoe Fell (SD993588) is probably at least as high as the official summit, and possibly higher, as the ground rises quite steeply from the 500m contour. I spent five hours doing a circuit of the fell and found little of interest other than the obelisk; not worth the time spent. The summit is in featureless heather and has no paths to it, testimony to its lack of visitors. Nearby Sharp Haw was a better hill.
